Summary
A cropmark of a ring ditch, probably a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on aerial photographs. The ring ditch is slightly sub-circular in plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 17m. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. This is an apparently isolated ring ditch that is located in the angle between a curvilinear ditch (NHER 12997) and a trackway (NHER 42070). It is situated on a northwest facing slope at approximately 11m OD.
